Every Man for Himself is the third album by Hoobastank. It was released on May 16, 2006, and May 8 of the same year in the UK. The first single is "If I Were You". A Limited Edition of "Every Man For Himself" was released in a green color scheme (as opposed to the red one featured here); the green limited edition contained no bonus track and was no different from the red edition.
The album is considered to be by many fans and critics to be softer than their previous albums and to be their most melodic album in that point. Some thought it was because the band wanted to regain their massive success of their previous album The Reason because the album had a couple of successful hits but the most successful hit was the title track which was a ballad song.
The second and third singles from Every Man for Himself were "Inside of You" and "Born to Lead" respectively.
Those who pre-ordered the album from Apple's iTunes Music Store, received a bonus track called "Face the Music."
Those who purchased the album in Japan received 2 bonus tracks with their green limited edition CDs titled "Finally Awake" and "Waiting". They also receive a DVD with bonus content.
Hoobastank announced the "Every Fan for Himself" tour which was billed as a fan appreciation tour, and to help promote the new album.
The song "Without a Fight" was featured on the game Elite Beat Agents and the trailer for the film Stormbreaker.
